BOSTON – MassLive.com has confirmed a Boston Globe report that no suspension is in the works for Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz. However, the absence of one does not necessarily mean he will not be disciplined in any way for Saturday night's phone thrashing in Baltimore – i.e., he still could be fined, according to a baseball source.

Major League Baseball does not typically disclose fines.

Ortiz threw an epic tantrum at Camden Yards, destroying his bat with three swings at a dugout phone.

"I have not heard a word from MLB," Boston manager John Farrell said Monday when asked about the initial report Ortiz would not be suspended.

Ortiz suggested the night of the incident that it was umpire Tim Timmons, whose strike zone Ortiz did not agree with, whom the league needed to address – not himself.

"I want to hear what the argument’s going to be," Ortiz said Saturday when asked about a suspension. "I want to hear that, because I have a good one. When situations like that happen, I think MLB should do something, because that was horrible. We’re not playing this game for fun, we’re playing to win. And if you walk, I walk, I’ve got no problem with that. But you’re not going to take my at-bat away from me. I hit. That’s what I do. And I work really hard to be who I am at the plate. That might be the worst call of the year right there. That was bad. Definitely."
